To bad it is Europe and for whatever reason they won't release more diesel cars here in the states. I actually think BMW is going to release a diesel in the near future, I don't know if it's the same one as in the test.

Cost to operate would still tip towards the hybrid though since diesel is $4+/gal.

I have wondered for years why the hell they're using Gas Hybrid technology in cars, when diesel was such an obvious choice that the Navy used it in the submarines back in the 40's. Theres enough little power plants out there in mass production for generator use that you would think they could get the size and weight down enough to make it worthwhile to stick in a little mini put-put bunny hugging battery powered car with a "Pave the Earth, We'll Stripmine the Other Planets Later" bumper sticker.
